Other MoA event in Takhar, Shahr-e-Buzurg District area, Afghanistan on Thu 25th December 2025

Tajikistan’s State Committee for National Security has confirmed that two of its border guards were killed during an armed attack launched from Afghan territory, officials said on December 25, reports Khaama Press.  The committee said the clash occurred when attackers crossed fire from across the border, prompting an exchange in which three assailants were killed by Tajik forces. The attack was launched from Badakhshan’s Shahr-e-Buzurg District and Chah Ab District in Takhar province, officials said. Security incidents along the Tajikistan-Afghanistan border have increased since the Taliban returned to power in 2021, prompting regional governments to strengthen border patrols and raise concerns about the presence of armed groups in northern Afghanistan.
